Foley & Lardner Milwaukee Office

Founded in 1842 in the heart of Wisconsin, Foley’s Milwaukee office is where our story began. For generations, Wisconsin and Foley have grown together, helping build the state’s economy and supporting the businesses that define it. Today, the Milwaukee office remains our largest, with nearly 300 lawyers and legal professionals delivering sophisticated legal solutions to clients locally, nationally, and globally.

Full-Service Law Firm in Milwaukee 

Foley is the only national law firm with a full-service presence in Wisconsin, trusted by many of the state’s most prominent companies, including most Wisconsin Fortune 500 companies and nearly all those listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We have long been known for excellence in corporate law, high stake litigation, and intellectual property.

But today, Foley’s Milwaukee office offers our clients much more.

We represent global clients in cutting edge practices including import and export controls, cryptocurrency and blockchain, FCPA enforcement, artificial intelligence, fund formation, venture capital, private equity, cross border transactions, and cybersecurity. Across these areas, we help our Wisconsin-based clients thrive in a highly dynamic and regulated business environment.

These include Manufacturing, Innovative Technology, Energy and Infrastructure, and Health Care & Life Sciences. Our deeply integrated teams combine legal insight with real world industry experience to deliver practical, business-focused advice.

National Platform. Local Impact. 

With more than 1,100 attorneys across 27 offices, each day we bring our national platform and industry-leading practices back to the place our story began, strengthening our impact on clients here in Milwaukee and throughout the state.

From partnering on cutting edge tech in Silicon Valley, to navigating complex regulatory issues in Washington, D.C., to leading transformative corporate work in Texas, our national capabilities strengthen our impact on clients here in Wisconsin.

Relocating Your Business to Wisconsin? We Can Help. 

Many companies are learning what we have known for years – Wisconsin is a great place to do business – and choosing Wisconsin as a place to grow, invest, and build for the future. At Foley, we understand that relocating corporate and manufacturing operations is one of the most significant projects a business can undertake. Foley helps companies moving to or expanding within Wisconsin navigate the legal, regulatory, and operational complexities that come with business relocation.
